Switching playback devices to PC during podcast causes episode to stop.

Switching playback devices to PC during podcast causes episode to stop.

I routinely switch between my phone (iOS), PC (Windows 10), and SONOS speakers while listening to podcasts, depending on what I'm doing. Leaving the house, switch to phone. Come home, switch to computer. Done with computer, switch to speakers. As a constant user, I find myself switching devices a lot. However! Whenever I switch to my PC, for whatever reason, there's a high likelihood (not 100%) that the track stops completely (play bar at the bottom goes blank) instead of continuing through the switch. Completely, to the point that I have to go through the whole rigmarole of navigating to the podcast, find the episode I was on, and then find the point I was just at in the episode (Critical Role episodes are hours long). Please fix!

Hey @CrankShade,

 

Thanks for reaching out.

 

We'd like to investigate this further since we haven't seen this behavior on our end. Would it be possible to try and use the web player for a while instead to see if the issue persists?

 

Keep us posted!
